Yes I am creating the program in perl, using Active State's PDK, but when I've used Win32::GUI and even an older version of WxPerl, the name of the program was seen ok by Jaws.
Now Jaws doesn't see the name of the program and it doesn't see the name of the interpreter. It sees the name of the last accessed program.
For example if I switch to the application X (like Notepad, or Outlook Express, or Windows Explorer) and then I switch to that program (with alt+tab), Jaws tells me that the current program is X if I press insert+Q.
For this reason I can't make a script for the program.The program is fully accessible and it doesn't need a Jaws script, (it is a dictionary), but I wanted to test if is a good idea to make a script that starts reading the text window automaticly, for not requiring the users to press Insert+down arrow.
I don't know where to search for improvements, because I don't know what is Jaws doing. Maybe I will ask FS.

True and I just checked and it still does this with most programs. Now I will say you are creating something in pearl are you not? If this is thecase jaws might pick up the interpreter rather than the program. If this is the case you will have to make a script file to pick up on it most likely Idon't know this for a fact because I don't' have the pearl interpreter on this computer to test. ken -----Original Message----- From: programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx[mailto:programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Octavian RasnitaSent: Sunday, February 24, 2008 9:08 AM To: programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: application name in Jaws Well, not exactly. There are no scripts for Notepad, but pressing Insert+Q in Notepad, Jaws tell us that the application currently beeing used is notepad.exe.In default.jss I've seen that this is the script that reads the name of theprogram: Script ScriptFileName() ScriptAndAppNames(cmsg238_L) ;"default" EndScript Well, I don't know what does the internal function ScriptAndAppNames and where it gets the name of the application from. That should be the name which is used for matching the Jaws script name.

For example if I start a certain program with a hotkey while I use Winamp, after that application starts, if I press Insert+Q, Jaws tellsthat Winamp is running. If I switch to Windows Explorer than I switch to that application, and I press again Insert+Q, Jaws tells that Windows Explorer is running, not that app. So I want to know what must a program do in order to allow Jaws to recognize its name correctly.
